Questions with Answers
Q: Are profiles only useable at fresh installation time?
No, you can apply profiles at any time. If you apply several profiles, the last one "wins".
Q: Are Profiles handlers Tiki version independent or does it depend on Tiki version installed on the Profiles repository ?
Handlers depend on the installed Tiki version. The repository could run any version of Tiki from 2.0 and serve all revisions. The best way is to do a svn log on lib/profilelib/installlib.php and on lib/profilelib/profilelib.php and you can know since when an handler or an option in the handler has been done
Q: Is it possible to redirect somewhere after applying a profile or put a custom message with further instructions ?
Yes. See Instructions.
Q: Is the "Only one item per user or IP" supported in Profiles Tracker handler ?
Go to
lib/profilelib/installlib.php. Look for the class Tiki_Profile_InstallHandler_Tracker::getOptionMap and you will see the list of options that are supportedQ: Where to look (which code to check) to make sure the Profiles documentation is up-to-date ?
All handlers are located in
